A study on calibration for commercial echosounder using the bottom backscattering strength from a fishing vessel near the South Shetland Islands in Antarctic
fishing vessel to use it in estimating biomass of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). The method of ... calibration was to analyze the difference between the bottom backscattering strength of the commercial ... echosounder (i.e. ES70) and the scientific echosounder (i.e. EK60) at some transects designated by CCAMLR ... . 38kHz and 120kHz were used for the calibration, and krill swarm signals, obtained from multi frequencies ...

The structure and spatial distribution of Antarctic krill aggregations from acoustic observation in the South Georgia area
significant distinctions in spatial distribution patterns of krill in the northwestern and the northeastern ... parts of South Georgia area. The boundary between two areas is located at about 37°30/ W. It is shown ... that in winter months in the northwestern part where foraging areas of dependent predators are located ... is non-attractive to fishery. The observed grounds with krill density exceeding the threshold value ...

Shedding new light on the life cycle of mackerel icefish in the Southern Ocean
Abstract: Mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) has a widespread distribution in the ... Atlantic and Indian Ocean sectors of the low-Antarctic region. Biological characteristics differ ... considerably between populations in the southern Scotia Arc and those living further to the north. Fish living ... in the north mature one year earlier than in the south. They have a much shorter life span and die ...

Possible options for the future management of the Antarctic krill fishery in Subarea 48.2
Abstract: We review the state of ecological knowledge for Subarea 48.2 and suggest that the ... development of any new management approach based on ecological indicators is limited by the current level of ... relevant ecological information. We propose that there is therefore an urgent need to improve the ... ecological knowledge base, but identify that this will take time. We conclude that if the krill fishery in ...

Some properties of diagnostics of GLMM model tuning for standardising CPUE indices in the Area 48 using the CCAMLR fishery statistics database
Abstract: The data of krill fishery in Subarea 48 for 1986 – 2008 presented to CAMLR database by ... haul-by-haul data were used. Standardizing CPUE was performed by applying the generalized linear model ... with random effects (GLMM). The analysis of diagnostics of GLMM tuning indicated that the model with ...

Exploring variability in the locations used by the krill fishery in Area 48 in relation to intra- and inter-annual variability in seasonal sea ice
Abstract: We present preliminary analyses of krill fishery catch data covering the period ... rapidly from mid May, often extending to cover the whole core fishing area, forcing the fishery to ... relocate by late June. Much of the effort relocates to Subarea 48.3, where the shelf and shelf-break ... fishing areas are normally ice free throughout the winter. In Subarea 48.1 ice cover begins to increase ...
